Cao Pi ordered everyone to slow down, and asked puzzledly: "Why don't you see Wang Baoyu guarding it according to the water?" ”

"I must be afraid of His Majesty's majesty, and I don't dare to confront him!" An attendant said with a whisker.

"Nonsense! How could Wang Baoyu be such a cowardly person. Liu Ye came over and reprimanded loudly, and the entourage hurriedly lowered his head and retreated.

"What does Ziyang think about this?" Cao Pi asked again.

"Wang Baoyu has always been treacherous, this time it may be a plan for him to lure us and others to go deeper, and he will definitely set up a heavy defense in Yiling." Liu Ye analyzed with a solemn face.

"I have an army of 400,000, even if he has thousands of troops and horses, why should he be afraid?" Cao Pi said disdainfully.

"Saint, Wang Baoyu's treacherous and insidious is well known to the world, according to the views of the ministers, it is better to take the land of Xiangfan first, cut off his arm, and then map Yiling, then the whole territory of Jingzhou can be obtained." Liu Ye said.

"Jingzhou is a place where Sun Liu must fight, it is difficult to occupy it for a long time, I just want to take Wang Baoyu's cheap life. I can't wait to rush to Yiling, slash this person, and avenge my brother! Cao Pi thought of his younger brother Cao Zhang, who died young, and suddenly burst into tears and showed sadness.

"Holy Lord, the revenge of the king of Ren Cheng will be avenged, please also take the national community as the priority, and the king of Ren Cheng has passed away, don't do this to cut his feet to fit his duties. If His Majesty stomps off the hands and feet of the minister because of the words of the minister, the minister also means this! Liu Ye knelt down and kept kowtowing.

Cao Pi was bent on a quick battle and was silent, and Liu Ye kept kowtowing, and later Cao Pi saw that his head was broken with a large piece of skin, and finally nodded and said: "According to what the doctor said, move the troops to Xiangyang." ”

"Holy Lord, Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so take Fancheng first."

While Liu Ye was talking, a drop of blood from the corner of his forehead flowed into his eyes, and he couldn't open it with a stinging pain, just open one eye and close one eye, Cao Pi already felt that he was very verbose, and saw his dignity of forcing him to die, the boss in his heart was not happy, and said coldly: "Fancheng is a small place, and taking Xiangyang is to take Fancheng." ”

"Holy!"

"I said a long time ago that this trip was supposed to avenge Ziwen, not just to capture the city!"

Liu Ye was wiping his eyes with his sleeve, and when he barely opened it, he only saw the back of Cao Pi brushing his sleeves away, where was he still patient to listen to his advice. Hey, the capture of Jingzhou has left Wang Baoyu with no place to hide, so why can't he take revenge! Compared with the former Prime Minister Cao Cheng, this saint still lacks some patience.

Cao Pi's army did not cross the Han River to attack Maicheng, but instead went west along the river and ran in the direction of Xiangfan.

Hearing the news, Mo Qianxun couldn't help but exclaim: "I never thought that there would be such a master under Cao Pi, and the land of Xiangfan may be in danger." ”

"Then fight Cao Pi in Xiangyang." Wang Baoyu felt that it made no difference where to fight.

"It's just that in this way, Jiangxia's troops are beyond reach. Anyway, I personally led the army to meet Xiangyang, and General Fan could also abandon Maicheng and attack Cao Pi from the rear. Mo Qianxun said.

"What can I do?" Wang Baoyu said.

"It's good for Baoyu to stay in Yiling, this Cao Pi will come to Yiling sooner or later." Mo Qianxun said.

"That's hard work." Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

Ma Yunlu wanted to go to Xiangyang with Mo Qianxun, but Yiling could not do without a general, so Wang Baoyu quickly sent a message to Qian Mo in Wuling, asking him to leave Wuling and rush to Yiling to help defend the city.

Subsequently, Mo Qianxun took Ma Yunlu and led 30,000 elite soldiers to Xiangyang; Fan Jinqiang took Wang Baochuan to activate the 20,000 army under his jurisdiction, and also marched towards Xiangyang, and a big battle was about to begin.

Cao Pi led an army of 400,000 people, crossed the Han River violently, and soon came to the city of Xiangyang, and set up a camp five miles away from Xiangyang.

The general Tian Ye had withdrawn back to Xiangyang City and began to actively prepare for war, and as soon as the camp was set up, the anxious Cao Pi led several generals to Xiangyang City to check the situation.

As soon as he saw the tall and majestic Xiangyang City, Cao Pi knew that he was wrong, how could this kind of place be fought overnight, not to mention the loss of troops, and it was easy to be trapped if he barely attacked it. Hey, you should really listen to Liu Ye's construction and go to fight that little Fancheng first.

The army has arrived here, Cao Pi, as the emperor, has to have the face of Chrysostom and Yuyan, and he can't go back on his word, so he didn't change his mind, and turned around and asked: "Generals, what is the best way to attack the city?" ”

"Holy Lord, I once garrisoned Xiangyang with General Cao Ren, the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not advisable to be protracted and protracted!" Cao Hongdao.

"Then how did Wang Baoyu capture Xiangyang with a small number of troops?" Cao Pi asked dissatisfiedly.

"This ......" Cao Hong couldn't answer for a while, and he muttered for a long time before replying: "Wang Baoyu is good at demon law, and he is a deceitful person. ”

"Hmph, before you attack, you will speak to that Wang Baoyu!" Cao Pi scolded unhappily, and Cao Hong's face was cold, and he was as silent as a cicada.

"Holy Lord, forgive the minister bluntly, if you attack Xiangyang, there will be losses, so think wisely." Cao Xiu also said a word, and after speaking, he was silent, not knowing what to say next.

Cao Pi couldn't help frowning, this still needs you to say, of course, it is best to outwit Xiangyang, you should always say a plan! Empty rhetoric does not solve the problem at all.

Seeing that Shengshang's face was not good, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu were so frightened that they closed their mouths tightly, and they had no plan at all. Cao Zhen also lowered his head, his eyes never dared to meet Cao Pi, he followed Sima Yi at the beginning, tried his best, but he still couldn't step into Xiangyang half a step, and now almost all have Xiangyang syndrome, and he feels timid and unconfident when he comes here.

"Shengshang, the minister thinks that it is not difficult to take Xiangyang, and two strategies can be used. One is to strike the west, and the other is to wait for work. Cao Zun, who fought with Cao Pi for the first time, stepped forward and said in a relaxed tone.

Cao Zhen was a little unhappy, and secretly said in his heart: "It shows that you have the ability." ”

Cao Zhen and Cao Zun are members of the same clan, and he recommended Cao Zun at the beginning, and he helped him to support the relationship. Over the years, Cao Zun has also fought several wars with Cao Cao, but it has been mediocre, and later Cao Zhen was disappointed in him, so he simply let it go and left him to fend for himself.

"General in detail?" Cao Pi became interested.

"Send two soldiers and horses, all the way across the river to feint attack Fancheng, all the way around Xiangyang, feint to attack Shangyong, so, Xiangyang will definitely send troops to rescue, the city is empty, it is not difficult to take." Cao Zundao.

Cao Pi pondered for a while, it was indeed very good, and nodded with a smile: "This plan is very good, how to talk about waiting for work?" ”

"If the plan to attack the east and the west fails, a small number of troops can be used to feign a siege day and night, so that within a few days, the enemy army will inevitably be exhausted, and then the strong attack will definitely be able to win in one fell swoop." Cao Zun explained.

Cao Pi stroked his palms and laughed, and praised: "With General Wei Zhen here, I don't have to worry about it!" ”

Cao Zun's face showed a smug expression, and the other three were silent, very unconvinced, if Wang Baoyu was so light-hearted, would he still have to make the heroes so jealous?
